It is a scenic(戏剧的)art integrating music, performance, literature, aria, and face painting.Theatrical art forms in many other countries do not present singing, dancing and spoken partsin one single drama. An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on stage;there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play;in a dance drama, the dancer has no speaking role and does not sing either.

US people have a custom to give money to waiters and waitresses as a tip for their work.But why is this? Shouldn't waiters get paid enough by their bosses? Well, many waiters and waitresses get paid below the US minimum wage(最低工资) and work for tips to make up for that. According to the American travel website TripAdvisor， some states pay their servers(服务员) only ＄2. 13(about 14 yuan )per hour.While no one makes you tip, if you are at a sit-down restaurant, it is usually expected that you tip your waiter 15 to 20 percent of what your bill is.It's not just for waiters either. Hotel maids, hairdressers and taxi drivers also usually work for tips. But it is much more expected to tip waiters.The US hasn’’t always had this tipping culture. In fact, people were mostly against it until the The US hasnProhibition Era(禁酒令时代) in the1920s. The government said no one could sell alcohol (酒). Then, restaurants had trouble making enough money. So, they started to ask people to tip theirwaiters.This tipping culture has lasted through the years, but most people don’t like it. Some thinkrestaurant bosses use it as an excuse to not pay their workers well.There isn't much action beingtaken to make a change yet.So, for now,be sure to tip your waiter when in the US.1. What's the very important difference when you go to the US?____________________________________2 Are waiters and waitresses well paid in the US?____________________3. Who also work for tips in the US?__________________________4. Why did the restaurants start to ask people to tip their waiters ?____________________________5. What do most people think of this tipping culture?_______________________________10Waves(波浪) are beautiful to look at， but huge waves are greatly harmful to ships at sea, as well as houses and buildings near the seaside. What causes waves? Most waves are caused by winds blowing over the surface of the water. The sun heats the earth, causing the air to rise and the winds to blow. The winds blow across the sea, pushing little waves into bigger and bigger ones.The size of a wave is decided by how strong the wind is, how long it blows, and how large the body of water is.In a small bay, big waves will never build up. But at sea the wind can build up big, powerful waves.It is believed that the height of a wave(in meters )will usually be no more than one-tenth of the wind's speed(in kilometers ). In other words, when the wind is blowing at 120 kilometers an hour, most waves will be 12 meters high or less. Of course, some waves may come together to form big waves that are much higher.1. What are huge waves greatly harmful to?_________________________2. What cause most waves?_______________________3. Why are there winds?__________________________4. Can big waves build up in a small bay?_____________________________________5.

He had just been dropped off by his mum, who left after telling him that he was going to spend the next twelve days there with no TV, no mobile phone and — worse of all — no computer.Suddenly, a man appeared at the entrance of the house. When he saw Eric, he went up to him immediately. ‘You must be Eric. Welcome to the camp,’ said the man confidently. ‘I’m Tony, the camp leader, but you will call me “Sir”. Now tell me why you’re here.’Eric quickly replied, ‘My mum made me come!’ When Tony looked at him angrily and did not say anything, Eric realized his mistake and added, ‘Sir!’‘And do you know why your mother sent you here?’ asked Tony.‘She thinks I spend too much time online.

If you break them, you’ll get punished. But you won’t simply get detention (课后留校), and you can forget about suspension (停学) — you’ll never be sent home early!

(根据短文内容回答下列问题)A Backcountry AdventureSunday, July l0thWe are back from our three-day camping trip to the Shenandoah Valley. Mom and Dad had been worried about our family’s reliance on computers, cell phones, and video games for entertainment. So they decided a camping trip would help us overcome our dependence on electronic devices. I knew we’d have to be resilient (适应力强的) in order to find a way to survive without the comforts of home.When you camp in the backcountry, you could only bring necessities that you needed to survive, such as food, clothes, a camp stove, fuel, rope, a map, and a water container. At first, I was surprised that we weren’t bringing bottled water with us. Then my heavy, overstuffed backpack made me realize we’d soon use up any supply we could carry. Instead, we’d have to boil water from nearby streams.Our first day in the wild was out of expectation. We scrabbled up rocky paths and waded in an ice-cold stream. Colourful wildflowers waved at us. I felt like I had stepped into a dreamypainting. After all that exercise, an intense hunger burned in my stomach. Mom’s homemade snacks had never tasted so good.At night, the darkness seemed like a black curtain. I tried to read with an electric torch, but I couldn’t concentrate.

Holland is a very low country, and it lies close to the ocean. Nothing but the strong dykes (堤坝) keep the angry waves away from the very doors of the houses in Holland. People must carefully guard the strong sea walls. They know that their homes and their lives would be in danger from the water of the sea if the dykes were broken.One day, a little boy named Peter was playing in the garden by his home in Holland when his mother called him. “Peter,” she said, “I want you to carry this basket of cheese to your grandmother. Go straight upon your way, without playing. You must be back home before supper.”Peter took the basket that held the cheese, and went on his way. He did not stop to gather thepretty flowers that grew by the wayside, nor to play with the boys who called to him from the field. He did what he was told, and soon he reached his grandmother’s house.It was already almost dark. He left his basket, gave his grandmother a kiss and left to go home. His path lay beside the dyke. In the quiet evening air, he heard a sound which made his heartbeat quick and fast. Peter knew the meaning of the fearful sound. It meant that 83 .Before morning, even before Peter could get men to help, the water would be pouring over the land. What could a boy do? Quickly, he ran to the spot from which the water trickled (滴、淌). He pushed his hand into the hole in the dyke. Then he called aloud for help. He listened. No answer came to his call, but he could hear that the water was no longer dripping. It became dark. He became too tired to call for help…People found him in the morning, pale and faint, but bravely holding to his post. “He has saved us all!” they said. “Thank God! He was a brave boy.”19．Holland lies close to the ocean, doesn’t it?__________________________________________20．What would happen if the strong dykes were broken?__________________________________________21．What was Peter told to carry to his grandmother?__________________________________________22．How did Peter get to his grandmother’s house?__________________________________________23．How did Peter stop the water from pouring over the land?__________________________________________24．What can be filled in the blank?__________________________________________Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)Working as a part-time assistant in a shop is a way for young people to earn some extramoney. For me, it is more than twenty dollars per hour.Like other eighteen-year-old girls, I chose to work in a clothing shop. On the first day, I was trained to fold and organize platform after platform of clothes. The work didn’t seem easy to me because everything had to be done in an accurate way. I felt a little impatient because I couldn’t get it right the first couple of times. The manager told me not to be impatient and taught me skills on how to finish the work well. After hundreds of tries, I had the clothes folded perfectly. Then it took me thirty minutes to get them all looking uniform. Now, I fold and organize clothes in the shop every day, and I am able to do them well. Through this experience, I’ve learned patience can help me in the work.Helping customers and connecting with them are the things I love most in the shop. About three weeks ago, I helped an old lady who was looking for a special dress. She told me exactly what she was picturing—a blue dress with long sleeves and a lace neck. We didn’t have any such dress, and when I explained that to her, she wasn’t very happy. Instead of getting impatient, I tried getting to learn about her interest first. We shared our love of the fashion show. I also asked her what the dress was for, so I could help her get the clothes she liked. Everything I did worked. She found other items she liked and finally bought some new blouses and jeans worth of $300. This experience has taught me how to meet customers’ needs.I’ve experienced frustrations and challenges in the work. To do well, I must learn to deal with them. The work experience changed me a lot and helped me in other aspects of my life as well. 25．How old was the writer when she worked in a clothing shop?____________________________________________26．Why did the writer think the work was difficult?____________________________________________27．Who gave the writer a hand and taught her how to finish the work well?____________________________________________28．What was the old lady looking for at first?____________________________________________29．How did the writer manage to meet the customers’ needs in Paragraph 3?____________________________________________30．According to the writer, what changes could help her in other aspects of her life?(No morethan 15 words)____________________________________________参考答案1．Yes./Yes, she did.2．At the entrance of the house.3．Because Eric forgot to call him“Sir”./Because Eric said impolitely4．It means Eric lost hope.

2021年外研版中考英语总复习专项训练：阅读理解7 科技说明
阅读理解(七)科技说明AAir pollution is a big problem for cities in most countries. Many people are dying from it. But how can we tell the air quality is good or bad?In a tree next to a river in Amsterdam, a tiny birdhouse glows(发光) bright green when the air is clean. If you’re standing nearby, the birdhouse will also give you a free Wi-Fi connection —but only if pollution level is low enough. The designer is Joris Lam. His birdhouse tells you about the air quality.Joris’ birdhouse is called TreeWifi. It can be put on a tree around your house to test the air quality. People can see a screen with information about the local air quality and how to improve it.TreeWifi is a simple way for people to know about the air pollution around them. If the birdhouse does not glow, people should care more about the environment. It reminds them to change their lifestyles. For example, to protect the air, they can ride bikes or just walk instead of driving cars.“Imagine if trees gave free Wi-Fi, people would plant more trees like crazy. It’s a pity that they only give us the oxygen(氧气) we breathe,” Joris said.The birdhouse doesn’t work as a home for birds now. Joris and his team are trying to make some changes to it. In the future, they hope birds will live in the birdhouse and the heat of its green light will be used to keep birds warm in winter.1.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? ( )A.The birdhouse.B.Air quality.C.Air pollution.2.People can get a free Wi-Fi connection when .( )①people are standing nearby②the pollution level is low enough③the air quality is low enoughA.①②B.②③C.①③3.Joris designed a screen for the birdhouse to .

It can provide a new kind of sustainable fuel(可持续燃料). Nopalimex, a company in Mexico, has made one of the world’s first cactus-powered factories. The idea came to Sosa in Nopalimex when he was looking for ways to save money for his food factory. He now powers his factory with cactus gas(气体). The cost to produce the gas is half the cost of electricity.Soon, the gas produced by Nopalimex will also be used in cars. Nopalimex’s gas is made by using the prickly pear(刺梨)—a kind of cactus. To make the gas, the prickly pear is mixed together with manure(肥料). Then the mixture produces the gas that can be used as fuel.Why cactus? Fuel can be made from other plants such as corn, but there are a few reasons why cactus is a better choice. First, prickly pears need very little water and very little care, and grow well in hot temperatures. Today, these characteristics are key. Also, unlike corn, prickly pears don’t need space that could be used for other food plants. They can grow in areas where many food plants can’t grow. Last, after making gas from prickly pears and manure, their byproducts(副产品) can be used to help grow food.Scientists still need to do more research on making and using prickly pear gas. As projects like Nopalimex show, we have the possibility to produce more sustainable fuel to power our lives.1.How can cactus help the world? ( )A.By saving farmers’ money.B.By providing a new kind of sustainable fuel.C.By taking the place of corn.D.By producing a lot of electricity and gas.2.Why does Sosa power his factory with cactus gas? ( )A.Because he wants to save money for his food factory.B.Because he has grown a lot of cactus and corn in his town.C.Because he wants to be well-known around the world.D.Because he wants to grow cactus instead of corn.3.What does the underlined word “mixture” in Paragraph 2 refer to? ( )A.The Nopalimex company.B.The manure.C.The prickly pear and manure.D.Cactus.4.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? ( )A.How cactus is used to produce gas.B.Where we can grow a lot of cactus.C.What Nopalimex does with cactus.D.Why cactus is a better choice to make fuel.C [2020·乐山]Do you know 5G?It is the fifth generation(代)of mobile network technology. These new networks are coming.China just issued commercial licenses(发放商用牌照)for 5G on June 6, 2019.This means that China’s telecom companies will be able to offer 5G networks for mobile phone users.Each mobile network generation is faster and more powerful than the one before it. 1G let us talk to each other. 2G let us send messages. 3G gave us data and the Internet. And 4G made all of these things faster. What’s special about 5G?5G has a very short delay between sending and receiving information. Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds(毫秒) to send and receive data. But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond or less—this is almost real-time.This big change will not only make our mobile Internet faster, but also deeply change our lives. Read on to find out how.5G+entertainment(娱乐)5G networks are about 100 times faster than 4G. This means you can download a movie in seconds using 5G.Also, virtual reality(VR) games will become more popular with 5G. The short delay of 5G will make the games feel even more real.5G+transport5G will also bring us safer self-driving cars. These cars can send signals(信号) to each other. They also talk to traffic lights and road sensors(传感器). 5G will allow cars to react(反应)even faster than human drivers.5G+smart homes5G also makes the Internet of things possible. Internet of things is a large network that connects everything to the Internet. Smart homes are part of it.For example, your toaster can automatically(自动地) start making breakfast after your alarm rings. And if its sensor feels the air becoming dry, a smart sprinkler(洒水器) could water your plants by itself.1.What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the third paragraph? ( )A.To explain 5G is the best of all.B.To share his knowledge about 5G.C.To encourage people to use the new network technology.D.To show the development of mobile network technology.2.What does the underlined word “delay” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?

专项训练七 节假日活动时间：8～10分钟/篇 分值：2分/小题Passage 1(2018福州)In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th, which is the following day after Christmas Day. However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it's a nonworking day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.The exact origin(起源) of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest (神父) on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed_up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a Mass of thanks for the success of the sailing. The priest wouldn't open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.One more thought is about the “Alms Box” placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers (做礼拜的人) put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas, that is why that day became known as Boxing Day.Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating (捐赠) their time, services and money to aid Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need.

The festival takes place in theBlack Rock Desert.

At the moment we're staying near Uluru—that's the aboriginal(土著) name for Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a balloon tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometers long and 384 meters high. The colors of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, they change from purple to red. The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a center of Aboriginal culture.The Australians have many British relatives. That's why they're like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but football is the most popular. Most Australians live near the coast, so they also love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.Although it's December, it's summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback(澳洲内陆) is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel(骆驼) ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper. When I sat on its back, it became very angry and refused me. So everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down...Finally, later this evening, we're taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home, it's been a fantastic trip!Tony( )1.

It's a good chance to work on different activities that you don't have much time to do during the rest of the year.We asked about 2，000 people what they would do during the summer vacation. Most of the surveytakers agreed that the summer vacation was a break from homework and they could relax.Alexis said, “At school, I'm really tired, so during the summer vacation I can read books and do many outdoor activities.”Amy is in high school. After school, she sometimes works in a cafe. She told us, “It's a chance to relax after a hard school year—sleep more, and see my friends more.”We also asked them if they would be too busy or kind of bored. About half (52%) of the surveytakers said they would be busy during the summer vacation but still have time to relax. And that is exactly how it should be.But not everyone said their summer vacation would be the right balance (平衡) between being busy and relaxing. Many thought that they would be too bored.How bored or busy people feel during the summer vacation depends on how old they are. Surveytakers in their early teens were more likely (可能的) to be bored.

中考英语真题阅读还原六选五专项训练试题及答案七
中考英语真题阅读还原六选五专项训练试题及答案七1I travel a lot. Each month, I pack up my suitcase to hit the road, whether it could be by plane, train, or automobile. I always find myself with the same problem—how to stay healthy while traveling? ____121____Move around.Though only about 1 in 4, 500 airplane passengers develop a blood clot（血块）, you should still make efforts to move around on the plane, just standing in the aisle or by taking a walk to the toilet. Have a layover（中途停留）? Instead of sitting, make sure to walk around the airport. Taking a road trip? Make plenty of stops to move around. ____122____ Whether it is working out at your hotel, taking hikes, or giving up public transport to walk, you’ll feel much better if you get in some activity.Prepare snacks smartly.____123____ Though these seem like a convenient choice, they’re not the healthiest. I like to pack snacks that are within my calorie budget for the day and 100 calories or under each. When traveling and buying food, I try to choose fresh fruit and vegetables. Is fast food the only choice if you’re very hungry? Stick to something simple and whatever you do, don’t supersize.____124____Because of low humidity on planes, many of us can find ourselves feeling thirstier than ever. Drink more water. Make sure when traveling on day trips to carry water with you at all times.____125____As a result, you will eat more healthily throughout the day.A．Eat, eat, eat.B．Drink, drink, drink.C．Here are some practical tips.D．Once you get to your location, don’t forget to do exercise.E．Water will also help you to be able to stay full between meals.F．While at the airport or on road trips, you’ll pass countless fast restaurants.2Why Recess (课间休息) is So Important for Children?Recess used to be a daily thing—if you drove past your local school after lunch, you’d see hundreds of children running, playing and just being children. ____126____. Recent researches have found that recess is important for more than just keeping children healthy and fighting children fatness—it also helps improve cognitive (认知) skills. ____127____.Social Benefit (利益)Children start learning social skills as soon as they start communicating with their parents. Once they reach the school age, their communications turn into with other children.____128____. These skills will carry them through childhood and into their adult lives.____129____Besides the social benefits, recess also has some cognitive benefits that are just starting to be developed. Science has shown that recess helps children to get information better, learn new things faster and improve creativity. Recesses from the school day are good for both the body and mind, and they help keep children more active in their studies and get the information they’re taught in class.Physical Benefits____130____. At present, about 18.5 percent of children in the United States are considered fat. Much of this problem can be caused without recess. Kids might spend their time on computer games at least 30 minutes a day, recess can help them run, jump, play and just be kids. Now it’s summer time, get them to spend some time in the swimming pool to get their weekly exercise.A．Cognitive BenefitsB．Behavioral BenefitsC．Here are 3 ways that recess benefits childrenD．But now the push toward good test grades has changed thatE．Childhood fatness is a growing problem in the worldF．Recess helps to build and improve social skills in a way that can never be taught in the classroom3Smashed cucumber (拍黄瓜) salad is one of the most popular cold dishes in China. Youcan find the green dish anywhere from restaurants to homes. ____131____According to The New York Times, smashed cucumber salad is “everywhere” in New York. Some restaurants have even added the dish to their menus. ____132____ But American cooks are trying yogurt, honey, lemon and other common western ingredients.Why is this dish becoming so popular? ____133____ Smashed cucumbers can hold onto tastes more than cucumbers which are cut into fixed shape and size. “Just changing the way you break down an ingredient...changes the way it feels and tastes. It’s cool.” said Danny Bowien, a cook at a New York restaurant.____134____ The cook smashes fresh cucumbers with the flat side of a knife. ____135____ Then other ingredients can be added. Also, it takes only five minutes to make the salad. Cook Julia Goldberg said it’s really “satisfying”.The success of smashed cucumber salad abroad shows that we should try to fit into local conditions when spreading Chinese culture across the world, said The Beijing News.A．This summer, even Americans are trying it.B．Most people like the special taste it produces.C．The way the dish is prepared also draws people’s attention.D．The strong smash makes the cucumbers different shapes and sizes.E．Americans have expressed their opinions on the taste of this salad.F．In China, people use garlic (蒜), vinegar (醋) and oil to make the cucumber tastier.4In summer, the high heat always makes you feel uncomfortable. _____136_____Actually, to stay cool and comfortable, you can try lots of natural ways, including water, fans, cool drinks and more. Here let's see how to use water to cool down.Drink water more often.Your body will feel cooler if you do that. Try drinking at least eight bottles of water every day. Adding orange, lemon, or tomato pieces to your water makes it more refreshing. _____137_____Freeze a handkerchief（手帕）and put it on your neck, forehead, arms or legs._____138_____ When the handkerchief heats up, simply wet it and put it back in the fridge.

2019届上海中考英语专题冲刺专题七：回答问题试卷及答案
2019年中考英语专题冲刺（七）------回答问题1.通读全文：做简答题的关键是要读懂原文，因此首先要通读全文、弄清楚段落大意及文章的中心意思以及作者的基本观点、态度，正确理解语境。
2.按题查读，即根据问题去寻找答案：认真阅读问题，充分理解问题，准确理解所问的内容，确定需要在文章中查找的对象，避免答非所问。
3.简练作答：在基本确定了每道题的回答内容之后，就要用简练、准确的英语表达出来。
注意回答问题时要切中要点，不要画蛇添足。
组织答案时，注意避免语言错误，如：时态、主谓一致、句子结构和拼写等。
如需引用原文，要作适当改动，最好不要整句照搬。
4.认真核查：完成所填的答案以后，再将原短文和补全后的短文或句子放在一起,审读一遍，上下对比参照，逐一检查所填的词是否符合原文主旨和细节，是否答非所问，是否仍存在语法、词汇拼写等错误，另外还有一点也要注意：如果对字数有要求,是否符合要求。
5.答案形式要符合提问方式：不同类型的问题要求有不同形式的回答，不能仅仅为了答案的简洁而忽略了问题与回答在形式上的对应。
如原文中提问方式为“why”，那么就要用“because”引导的从句来回答。
具体如下：1）用How提问，回答要以by开头A.How did the judge solve the student’s problem?B.(The judge solved the problem)By making the restaurant owner hear the sound ofthe falling coins.2)用where/when提问，要以介词in/on/at或其他表示地点、时间的介词作为开头A.Where did the student live?B.In a small room near a restaurantA When did Eppie Lederer begin to write an advice column for the Chicago Sun Times?B In1955.(or:After she won a contest.)3)用how many提问，要注意数字前是否有限定词more than/at least/about等。
